{"product_id":"9781845405144","title":"Creatures Like Us?: A Relational Approach to the Moral Status of Animals","description":"As a child brought up among animals, Lynne Sharpe never doubted they were essentially 'creatures like us'. It came as a shock to learn that others did not agree. Here she exposes the bizarre way in which many philosophers - including even some great and humane ones - have repeatedly talked and written about animals. They have discussed the topic in terms of non-existent abstract 'animals', conceived as defective humans, entirely neglecting the experience of people who have wide practical knowledge of companion animals - such as horses and dogs - through working with them. She testifies to the interesting nature of these creatures' lives, noting that the usual narrow approach to animals carries with it also a distorted notion of human life as essentially cerebral and language-centred.","brand":"Andrews UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174546391280,"sku":"9781845405144","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845405144_p0.jpg?v=1763744704","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845405144","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
